“The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the LORD. And He (God) delights in his (man) way [and He (God) busies Himself with his (man) every step]. Psalm 37:23 AMPC
I like to Capitalize references to God, especially the pronouns. This time the Classic Amplified Bible has done it for me. I really learned something when I took note which “Him” was God and which “him” was man.
This verse astounds me! Being a “righteous” because of what Jesus did for me (2 corinthians 5:21)… My steps are both directed and established by the Lord. If that wasn’t enough, it says,“He delights in my way.” The new living translation states, “He delights in every detail.” What?!
I’ve been running the last bit over and over in my head; God busies Himself with my every step. Why? Don’t you find it fascinating, not only does God map out our lives (Ps. 139:16), but He also orchestrates the details of our day?!
I recently saw a video of a terrible tornado being recounted by the people in its path. Using a count-down method to a specific moment of crisis, it showed a perfectly timed rescue. Amazing. No one ever used the word miraculous, but it certainly was. I watched with tears in my eyes knowing that God had put that “coincidence” together.
He does it everyday! Every place I go, every person I meet. Not quite as dramatic, but He’s there. God is into my details. Busy with each step. May I stay aware and look for Him.
